British Columbia Coast Chapter 99s are remembering Jean Prior with a one-time Award of $500. Jean was a lively, positive, and generous member of the BC Coast Chapter Ninety-Nines. She flew her Cessna 150 with great pride. She encouraged women of all ages to learn to fly, and encouraged new pilots to enjoy flying as often as possible. Therefore, preference will be given to a low-time Private Pilot to help her build time and experience. The eligibility criteria are the same as for the West Canada Section 99s scholarship, so only one application is necessary. The winner will be selected from that pool of applicants. Page 1 of 6
